Abstract:
Distyryl compounds of the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 denotes hydrogen, halogen, alkyl and the like,R.sup.2 denotes hydrogen, halogen, aryl, alkyl, aralkyl and the like,R.sup.3 denotes hydrogen, halogen, alkyl or CF.sub.3 andn denotes 1 or 2,are useful fluorescent brighteners which are distinguished by their low degree of self-coloring. They are particularly useful for application to polyester fibre materials by thermosoling.
Abstract:
Optical brighteners of the formula ##STR1## wherein Y denotes a carbocyclic or heterocyclic radical,R denotes hydrogen or R.sub.1,whereinR.sub.1 is an optionally substituted alkyl, aralkyl or aryl radical, andn denotes 0 or 1 andthe rings A and B can carry further substituents, are obtained in a simple manner by a process in which compounds of the formula ##STR2## are rearranged at elevated temperatures--if appropriate in the presence of acids.
Abstract:
